The WinProp Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with WinProp.
The Altair installation directory contains a collection of examples that shows you WinProp concepts and essentials.
WinProp is a complete suite of tools in the domain of wireless propagation and radio network planning. With applications ranging from satellite to terrestrial, from rural via urban to indoor radio links, WinProp’s innovative wave propagation models combine accuracy with short computation time.
View the typical workflows when working with propagation simulations in specific scenarios, how to add a network planning to a propagation simulation, include a receiver pattern, set up a time-variant scenario, include multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) at both the base station and the mobile station, connectivity analysis of sensor networks and optimization.
The WallMan component offers a convenient facility to generate and edit vector building databases.
The TuMan tool enables you to generate and modify tunnel scenarios.
Use AMan to generate, edit and analyze a single antenna. Superimpose multiple antennas radiating similar signals to determine the actual antenna pattern while taking into consideration the local environment.
The ProMan component includes wave propagation models for different scenarios and network planning simulators for various air interfaces.
Predict path loss between transmitter and receiver with ProMan. Perform network planning including the wireless standards (the air interfaces) and including multiple transmitters/receivers (multiple base stations).
The ProMan (Propagation) software package is designed to predict path loss accurately between transmitter and receiver. The ProMan (network) software offers network planning modules.
ProMan can be started with additional arguments passed in the command line to load and execute existing projects automatically.
The WinProp command line interface (WinPropCLI) executable enables you to run WinProp projects in batch mode without launching the graphical user interface (GUI). It is available on both Microsoft Windows and Linux. Internally, the WinPropCLI executable calls the WinProp API. The WinPropCLI can be used within queuing systems such as Altair PBS, Torque, LSF, GridEngine and more.
Global settings are settings that are not relevant to a specific project or database.
The correct format for antenna patterns is required to ensure accurate propagation modeling.
Raster data is a digital image consisting of rows and columns of cells storing color data. Different types of data are given to build a map.
In a GIS, geographical features are often expressed as vectors, by considering those features as geometrical shapes.
Rural vector databases describe the simulation environment based vector topography and clutter databases.
Urban vector databases contain a description of all buildings and vegetation areas in an urban environment
Indoor vector databases describe each arbitrary object.
Time variance influences the wave propagation significantly.
Tunnel databases have a special layout and can be included.
Photos are used as background images.
A site represents a base transceiver station (BTS) that allows wireless communication between user equipment and a network.
Model complex radio networks in indoor environments using predefined components from a component database.
WinProp features a component database with manufacturer information. Components such as combiners, splitters, amplifiers can be added for modeling of the propagation environment.
WinProp includes empirical and semi-empirical models (calibration with measurements possible), rigorous 3D ray-tracing models as well as the unique dominant path model (DPM).
In WinProp various air interfaces and applications are pre-defined: broadcasting, cellular, wireless access, WiFi, sensor networks, ICNIRP and EM compliance.
The OptMan component allows the automatic optimization of orientations of antennas in cellular networks to achieve various targets.
The CoMan component allows the simulation of the reliability and connectivity in wireless mesh / sensor networks.
The WinProp utilities consist of the Launcher utility and the Updater.
Reference information is provided in the appendix.
